Abstract
A modified material for use with a capacitive touch screen is described. The modified material comprises a material impregnated with a composition comprising either a non-metallic and/or a metallic conductive agent with a binder. A variety of materials are contemplated, including, but not limited to leather. Also described is an apparatus and method of providing a conductive glove is disclosed.
Claims2
A glove formed at least in part of a modified leather material, said modified leather material comprising at least a portion of the glove and said modified leather material is leather having fiber matrices and is impregnated with a composition comprising:
- a non-metallic electrically conductive agent that comprises carbon black;
- and
- a binder for binding the non-metallic agent within the leather;
- wherein the non-metallic conductive agent and binder are impregnated at least into the modified leather material of the glove and further wherein the concentration of carbon black is from 10% to 25% based on the dry weight of the leather to be modified so as to provide for modified leather material in the glove which can functionally interact with a touch screen when worn by a user.
